Abstract

Today,
energy requirements are increasing day by day, from the devices we use at home
to the complex production activities that are carried out in the industry. The
need for electrical equipment is also increasing with increasing energy
requirements. The use of power transformers, which can be specified as the
basis of energy transmission and distribution, also increases in this scope.
When it considered in the context of good electric infrastructure, location of
the transformers is as important as the number of transformers. In this study;
environmental noise and vibration originated by the power transformer located
in the building and measures to be taken were determined in order to determine
and reduce the environmental effect of the transformer on the people. When
obtained data was evaluated, it was determined that the environmental noise and
vibration caused by the transformer exceeded the limit values given in the
Environmental Noise Assessment and Management Regulation and reduction
required. In this context, by using INSUL Version 6.2 Program produced by
Marshall Day Acoustics Company, insulation work was performed to reduce
environmental noise and vibration in the volume where the transformer was
located.
